Only one night: Leonard officially confirmed that the Lakers are the first to leave the team, and Butler is seeking a contract extension of 100 million yuan

Just today, a sensational news swept the sports circle: Leonard officially confirmed his departure from the team, and he was the first on the Lakers team. At the same time, Butler is also fighting for a contract extension of 100 million. Yes, it's not a TV series, it's real!

Let's talk about Butler. This buddy's strength should not be underestimated, and he plays as steadily as an old dog. But the wish is really not small, and he made a sky-high request for a contract extension to the Heat team. Presumably, the Heat's top management has to weigh it carefully, after all, if this contract is signed, Butler has to ensure that he can take the whole team.

Butler's performance was truly impressive, with only 34 minutes played, but his 20.8 points per game stats were enough to prove that his skills and leadership were indispensable to the team. With such a player, the Heat naturally want to try their best to stay. The question is, is the deal worth it? It will take time to answer.

Turning back to the Lakers, the whole team seems to be going through a "cleansing" phase. Leonard's departure can be said to be a beginning. The Lakers' strategy is said to have shifted to increasing roster depth rather than chasing stars. Whether this strategy can help the Lakers achieve a counterattack next season is very worth looking forward to.

Leonard's departure this time was somewhat sudden, but it seemed reasonable. He missed a number of important games this season due to injury, including Game 6 against the Clippers. It's fair to say that Leonard's form and his injuries have become key to whether the Lakers can go further.

Come and see the Clippers. Leonard's absence really puts the Clippers at a disadvantage. In the game he was absent, the Clippers were beaten defenseless by the Mavericks. If the Clippers want to make a difference in the upcoming games, they will have to find a strategy to deal with without Leonard.

The Lakers also made a big move. In addition to Leonard, various rumors about the future of the team are flying. For example, Hamm's dismissal from class is no longer a secret. The Lakers are said to be already looking for a new head coach, which will be one of their important offseason tasks.

Back in Butler, what his future holds will have a direct impact on the Heat's tactical layout and team atmosphere. If Butler succeeds in renewing his contract, will he be a savior for the Heat, or another trouble with a high salary?

With Leonard and the Lakers' "breakup", the future of the Lakers is full of uncertainties. How will they adjust their strategy, will they pursue more star players, or will they stick to their current tactics?

What do you think of these changes? What are your predictions for how the Lakers and Heat will perform next season? How will these decisions change their fate? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment section! Let's witness all this together.
